Strange colour setting in on PF cakes after first flush... wtf?

Hey everyone,
This is my first grow attempt coming to a close, I've brought my PF cakes all the way from inoculation to the terrarium and I've had a fairly good harvest, and the little buggers continue to fruit. However, almost all of the cakes now have a strange purple colour at the top of them, except for two of them that are black. This colour is solid, not in patches, and only covers the very top of the cakes. The black ones are the same colour as the black caps they are producing... speaking of which, should I be concerned about shrooms with black caps when others of the same strains (ecquador and Z) are tossing up nice tan/dark brown caps?
I wish I could supply pictures, but I can't at the moment... I don't want to endanger myself or my friends, but I'd also hate to waste perfectly good shrooms. Usually when there's any doubt I'd prefer to err on the side of caution and toss 'em, but the shroomery being as glorious as it is, if there's any doubt I come here first... so should I be concerned? purple cake tops? black cake tops? black caps?? what's the deal!?

ah, of course!! so... that means I waited a little too long to harvest them, I'm thinking...? I've read the perfect time to harvest is after the veil lowers... Thanks so much, Hyphae. Were you not a strange internet goblin, I'd give you a hyphive
